Description
Awarded the coveted Gold Award at the 2020 London Honey Awards and 2 stars at the 2020 Great Taste Awards
Certified Organic, wilderness honey from traditional award winning Greek beekeeper.
On Mount Halkidik - Greece. grow beautiful Pine Trees - which produce a spectacular award winning honey. The Great Taste judges said of the flavour: 'Dark and sultry, this honey has the deep caramel sweetness of dates and the aroma of pine needles and leather. The texture is rich and syrupy....The overall flavour fades in sweetness and almost becomes savoury....with a herbaceousness that persists.... a sophisticated honey to be savoured." The Raw Honey Shop is the only stockist in the UK to sell this honey.
About the beekeeper: Vicky and Dimitris' bees work the trees and plants in a Natura 2000 reserve in the area of Mount Holomontas in Chalkidiki. It is a forested reserve, a very pure and wild area, with soil and climate that enables the bees to produce very special honeys - with a depth and intensity of flavour that you only find in the very best honeys. Organic beekeepers Vicky & Dimitris believe that honey in the jar should be as it was in the hives.
More on honeydew honey: This is a dark thick runny honey – it is known as a honeydew, because it is from the sap and resin of the tree not from flower nectar. Honeydews are high in oligosaccharides, which are known for their prebiotic qualities- aiding digestion.
Please know that raw honey does crystallise and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey.
